You Can't Expect Your Children To Be

Most Performers Take Themselves Too Seriously. They Forget There Is A Difference Between The Characters They Play On The Screen Or Stage And Themselves, But The Public Doesn't Forget There Is A Difference. They See How Silly It Is If You Try To Be The Same Person All The Time.

My Dad's Family Were Political And He Was Always A Theatrical Creature, Whereas My Mum Is Really Musical And Her Father Was The Touring Pianist With Nat King Cole. My Family Was An Explosive Mixture Of Politics, Religion And Music - No Wonder I Turned Out How I Did.

There're Lots Of Musicians In My Family, Too. My Mother Sings Incredibly Well. I've Got To Make A Record With My Mother's Voice On It. She Sings A Lyric Soprano. We Do The Opposite. I'm A Baritone. She's A Star Singer In Her Church. She Always Does Her Solo.

I Don't Know What I'm Going To Be Doing In Two Years Or Even In Two Weeks. I Have To Live For Today.
